USDA received over 350 applications for the first rounds of the grant
program.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced this month that $29
million in funding will be added to the grant program that supports
the increase in domestic fertilizer capacity. The USDA said the grants
will “help independent businesses increase production of American-made
fertilizer, which will spur competition, give U.S. farmers more
choices and fairer prices and reduce dependence on unreliable foreign
sources like Russia and Belarus.“
“I know that increased costs for fertilizer and other inputs have put
a strain on farmers and cut into the bottom line. The Biden-Harris
Administration and USDA understand the importance of taking on the
root causes and need to invest in the agricultural supply chain here
at home to create a resilient, secure, and sustainable economy for the
long haul,” Secretary Vilsack said. “By expanding the production of
domestic fertilizer supplies, we can grow independent local
businesses, bring production and jobs to rural communities and support
fair prices for our farmers.”
AS THE LORD
LEADS, PRAY WITH US…
- For
USDA officials as they oversee the awarding of grants for domestic
fertilizer production.
- For discernment for Secretary
Vilsack as he heads efforts to support and sustain U.S. farming.
